Tell Ronnie I went to Our Lady's and at that time the Cumbernauld gang were LEMO. It's an acronym for Leave Everything Move Out. Tho' I suspect few of them knew what an acronym was.
They never bothered the chaps from Croy, we very much had a siege mentality. Fight with one of us, you fight with all of us.
Like I said I spent a lot of time working and drinking in Cumbernauld. I knew the Connors (all called bomber, there was about a brazillion of them) reasonably well, I think Gerry went to the jail for murder. The Colquhon's (big Cal was one of the most mental guys I have ever met). The Barclays from Condorrat (buff could fight like fuck, because of the Kung Fu). Billy Bryceland, from the village (we called him Sam but I never knew why). You really didn't want to fuck about with him, unless you were big Cal. Sam (real name) McCulloch, excellent guitar player. Played a lot with Jonnie Brady. Who would have done well to stop killing people with his motorbike.
Like I said this is all 25 years ago. Before the hun boyfriend's time.
